Yes, but I thought the parameter to dev.set() should only be the value returned by dev.next()/dev.prev(). So I read the help page again. It's a little embarrassing - I missed the sentence "Devices are associated with ... a number in the range 1 to 63". I should have read the help page more carefully. Thanks.
